crazy with the thoughts


crazy with the thoughts
you can tell she is getting worse
sitting where he does he may not
realize it gets hard to understand
words come out all jumbled
and with the constant ramble he may go mad
all at once he tries so hard to understand
let her make sense of it all be patient
when she doesn't he gives up just a little bit
each day it gets harder to take care
two instead of just one
somehow she feels for him a second
rubs his back and says I know I know
forgets how to drink her coffee
does this every week and still can't remember
maybe she will surprise him tonight
with a memory of who she was and really is
who are we all that we know or more
same confusion until the body gives up
on the mission before us all
the sounds remind us
something else will get rid of the thoughts
time will pass and neither her or him will know
who she is confused and alone
he tries to keep her company now
she is lost and he will not give up
on looking for her everywhere...
